http://www.justcommunication.co.uk/ <http://www.justcommunication.co.uk/> - national, short notice... http://www.signsolutions.uk.com/ - national RNID Communication Support Units (via www.rnid.org.uk) - but check they are offering you qualified people. For the future: www.cacdp.org.uk - you can subscribe to their online or paper-based directory of registered interpreters. ASLI - as mentioned already (the professional organisation - the Association of Sign Language Interpreters) and CACDP (the examining awarding body and linked to the Register of Sign Language Interpreters) are the two main lists. Then there will booking agencies around the country, and free-lancers - many operating nationally. If you had booked professional interpreters (eg MRSLI or MASLI) there is a certain onus on them to help find you alternative interpreters, and they are likely to know the other people working in their the area, so you could go back to them. For colleagues further north - there is SASLI, the Scottish Association of Sign Language Interpreters. Good luck. Sheenagh Hull Disability Co-ordinator (& interpreter - but busy tomorrow!)

Tomorrow I had some BSL interpreters booked for a conference. They are now unable to attend. Does anyone have any contacts that I can approach to see if anyone can do some interpreting for the conference tomorrow? A long shot I know but if anyone has any ideas or contacts please do send me ASAP.
